Its ‘not a book ban’: Doug Mastriano claims while advocating for books to be banned
.
Doug Mastriano, the Republican gubernatorial nominee in the state of Pennsylvania, is advocating for books to be banned but also insists it’s “not a book ban.”
A clip of Mastriano’s argument began circulating Tuesday on Twitter. Mastriano, who was a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump’s big election lie, laid out his argument on the Pennsylvania State Senate floor.
“Those books, that you read from and the pictures that I saw in my office and the same that Governor [Tom] Wolf couldn’t apparently look at as well, that’s not age-appropriate, and asking those to be removed is not a book ban, that’s just madness, that’s a logical fallacy,” Mastriano said.

He then pivoted to a transphobic rant arguing that “pronoun games have no place in schools.”
